Hi guys,
I'm new to Android, and I've recently rooted my Galaxy Note 2 (LTE) and I want to flash it back to stock ROM. I've searched the forums a bit, and I also know that there will be a counter indicating how many times I have flashed. My question is, is it possible to flash back to the stock ROM and making everything as if I were to purchase everything brand new?
Also, can I do an update OTA if I have rooted my device?

So for those who don't know, 11/6 marks the date for the 4.3 update on the Sprint Galaxy S3. This should be a pretty easy question and I'm only asking because I forgot, but since I just rooted my phone (didn't install a custom ROM or even a custom recovery), I can just update to the newest version and all it will do is get rid of superuser, correct?
Thanks
Yup
Hello All!
I am switching to Sprint in a few weeks and getting an S3. I believe they have 4.1.2 on them now? Anyway, I would really like to be able to update/flash STOCK 4.3 onto it. I am not new to rooting and flashing other devices (like motorolas), but have had a lot of trouble with a galaxy 7.7 tablet (I bricked it).
Could someone please tell me what I need to do?
Do I need to root first, then use odin to install stock 4.3?
Thank you so very much!

Is the phone your getting brand new? If so, it will come with 4.3 and KNOX security. you can always check by going to settings>about phone, read android version and baseband-if baseband ends in mk3, then it has KNOX.

No, I should have stated. I am getting a used GS3.
Even if its used you can go to menu>settings>system update then update firmware and samsung software and it should give you android 4.3 with KNOX. If you are already rooted or if you don't want knox then you need odin to flash a recovery then install a rom using recovery
Hello, I moved onto a Note 3 but I recently took my VZW Galaxy Nexus out of the drawer it was in and I am going to use it as a secondary device at home on wifi only.
I'm rooted and running a 4.2.2 ROM, can I simply flash a Kit Kat ROM?
On the Note 3 there was a very specific process to upgrade involving flashing firmware update in odin.
Is anything like that required here or can I just flash a KK ROM like any other ROM?
Thanks in advance for the help. I feel like I should know this but when I went from ISC to JR back in the day, I took the VZW update and just maintained root with supersu pro.

Make sure you have the latest recovery twrp or cwm. Also make sure to use kitkat gapps. Everything thing will just work like normal as far as installing.
Thanks much. I was hoping it'd be this easy.
I will do whatever it takes to see if my data is still there. Then I need to get my warranty replacement.
I have a completely stock Note II (AT&T SGH-i317) that I believe is at 4.3 Jelly Bean I317UCUBMK6 (or ***MJ4, I don't know the difference). OTA firmware updates have never worked for my phone since I took it out of the box. Samsung/AT&T have no download link to an official 4.3 that I could use with ODIN to reflash[?] my phone.
I have had connector and battery issues for a while and suddenly last week my phone just hung at the AT&T carrier screen when I turned it on. I tried recovery mode>clear the cache and rebooting to no avail. In recovery it had told me it was unable to mount the EFS. I also saw online that there were, in fact, old leaked roms (4.3) from before 4.3 was released. Can I "flash"[?] to one of these from 4.3 not-leaked official? Again, not trying to lose any data...
I also saw this thread and didn't know if it would help:

Thanks and I will seriously buy you a beer or other preferred beverage/donation if you can help.
Were you rooted when this happened or want to be rooted cuz if you download a stock att rom and flash though odin it should keep everything you have on there

That's the thing though--I attempted to use ODIN with the stock 4.1.2 ROM and it failed. Then I remembered I had 4.3 installed. I can't find a stock AT&T ROM for 4.3 anywhere!

Hi everyone I hope this is not a repetition of some old thread (I tried but couldn't find though).
I was using my note 2 (T889) on stock 4.3 which i previously flashed via odine. A couple of days ago i came by this good looking kitkat based rom ( eZKAT v2.0 ) and went on to try it. the rom flashed flawlessly and after flashing my modem i got the signals as well but the wifi was not working. tried using dr. ketans wifi patch but didnt get the wifi to working. Anyhow, I decided to go back to 4.3 via odine. The odine flashing completed successfully but i got stuck on T-mobiles boot screen for hours.
Is there anything called "you cant go back to 4.3 from 4.4.2"? If yes, then whats the way around? I really need to go back to the stock.
Thanks.

I had this problem on my Note also. Downgrading versions of Android requires a data wipe. You will need to reflash your 4.4 ROM then backup your data if you want. Save your backup to your computer then install the 4.3 image.

I already tried that but still the booting stuck on the t-mobile logo. I read somewhere that locked bootloader don't let you downgrade to previous version. Is this true?
In that case. Try finding a 4.3 rom that's close to stock.

The locked bootloader is always in stock firmwares i.e 4.3 for the Note 2 but not in custom roms meaning u can even install Lollipop custom on it & downgrade smoothly, i have done that many times. The problem is 4.3 stock firmware has locked bootloader hence downgrading still keeps u in 4.3 bootloader even if u remove all the KNOX files.
